Earth Medicine Alliance is a non-profit focused on earth-honoring ways of life, healing our relations with the natural world, and in addition to lots of different ceremonial leaders, we’ll also have some eco-psychologists presenting. It’s a diverse crew of presenters and a popular event.

SPIRITS OF PLACE are our closest neighbors in the larger web of relations, those whom we most impact and are most impacted by. In addition to our human kin, they include animal and plant relations, mountains and rivers, ancestors of the land, the elders who bring rain and storms, stone people, elementals, local deities, nature spirits, and other strange old powers whose bodies we perceive as the natural world.

This October 22nd-23rd we invite you to join nearly 20 ceremonial leaders and teachers of diverse backgrounds for a full weekend of embodied learning, interfaith dialogue, and co-creative ritual around the theme of honoring spirits of place. Please consider joining us in this gathering of interfaith exchange and earth healing.
